Got off work today & my wife met me. We hit The Meadows Of Sixmile Creek in Waunakee for 18. I was playing she just wanted to ride along. Played the back 9 1st as a single since the course wan't very busy at all. At the turn we went in & had lunch, came back out about 45 minutes later. Finished up with the 3rd hole & was waiting on a foursome in front of me, I wasn't in a hurry since I had nothing but time. Anyways there was a 4some behind me but only 3 were playing. They must have been driving their carts full throttle & in a race to finish the rd in 45 minutes or something.
As I am just about ready to tee off on the 4th, one of the guys who also had his non playing wife along starts yelling over at me, asking me if I was playing as a single. I tell him yes but I like it that way. He says he will be right over so we can play together. I say sure thing, so I wait. He comes over finally & asks if my wife is playing, I tell him no. So then he starts yelling back at the other couple who is still on the 3rd green to hurry up & come play with us so we can all play as a 4some. They tell him, "no thanks" but he keeps insisting & now they are just ignoring him.
I tee off & he follows suit, meantime the other couple is just hitting balls back & forth on the green avoiding this guy so I know somethings up. We finish up the hole & move on to a 518 yd par 5, this guy puts his tee shot so far right it's in another zip code. I muff my tee shot but it's playable. he tees up another & puts it in the water then goes to find his 1st ball. Finds it them puts that one in the water as well as a 3rd ball. By now I am so damn worked up from just watching this asshat, that I can't concentrate & my game started deterioting quickly.
Finally after what felt like forever we finish the hole & move on, same fricking tee box experience were he has balls going 2 holes to the right & I am so pissed I can't see straight & top my tee shot. I walk down to get my ball & his wife tells my wife "wow, they are both playing pretty crappy". My wife tells her "he was doing pretty good until you guys came along". This woman got so pissed off she screamed at her husband "they are blaming us for him playing like shit!". They both got in their cart without another word & quite literally left the course. Funny thing is, I finsihed up the hole, calmed down & my game came right back, was able to put drives down the middle, hit GIR, etc.
I decided to ask the couple behind me what was up with them, so waited on the 7th tee box. The husbad told me the guy insisted on the 1st hole they play as a 3some even though he just wanted to play as a twosome with his wife. The clown wouldn't take no for an answer & pretty much forced himself upon them.
I have never had to deal with something like this on the course before & next time I will simply say "no thank you, I am playing alone". How would you have dealt with it?
Sorry for the long drawn out post but this couple really got me quite pissed off.
